150 - 205mm (5.9 - 8.1in)

Mineral Crystal
A toughened glass made from silica that's heat- and scratch-resistant, offering clear visibility and solid everyday durability.
Mineral Glass
Enhanced durability
Mineral crystals use a similar material to windowpane glass and were developed for watches as a harder alternative to acrylic. Mineral crystals are still susceptible to scratches but less so than acrylic, however it is not possible to buff out these scratches as it is with acrylic. Mineral glass is not as shatter resistant as acrylic but does offer greater transparency and clarity. Due to their improved scratch resistance versus acrylic, and improved shatter resistance versus sapphire, mineral is often considered to be the best of both worlds as a crystal material.

Reviews
A very nice watch. I've
"A very nice watch. I've given up on being a mechanical watch purist because of the quality and good looks of this and other quartz Timexes I own. This one in particular is a winner. A great size, a nice vintage vibe, and a very comfortable learher strap. A good value too, especially since I got it on sale🙂"
— Thomas J. (5/5)
This watch is beautiful. This
"This watch is beautiful. This is by far the best watch I’ve seen at this price point. As many have said the dial isn’t as blue as the pictures but honestly after seeing it in person it’s better that way and pictures just don’t do it justice. I will say I’m not a huge fan of the strap but I put a black leather strap on it and it’s perfect."
— Quinn A. (5/5)
This is simply a stunning
"This is simply a stunning & beautiful watch, well made and a pleasure to look at seeing time passing by. Although with fake screw down pushers it is well made, comfortable and a true winner. Highly recommended. I am a collector having many watches - much more expensive and as well cheaper and this is easy one of my favorites."
— Rolf B. (5/5)
I was disappointed to see
"I was disappointed to see that there was no automatic secondhand movement as depicted from what I thought in the pictures it still looks like a very nice classy watch however, I was really hoping that this one had the automatic secondhand watch. I guess I didn’t pay enough attention to the description."
— Joe L. (3/5)
Beautiful watch at a great
"Beautiful watch at a great price. I especially love the sub dial layout and the finish on the watch, which gives it enough of a shine to stand out without looking ostentatious. Would highly recommend this to someone looking for a chronograph that doesn’t break the bank"
— Matthew Q. (5/5)
No words! This time piece
"No words! This time piece is a real knockout. So much good stuff happening here. Two sub dials, ice blue dial, polished stainless steel, raised mineral glass, racing band, exhibition windows in back, etc, etc. Bravo Timex. . . bravo!"
— Clarence T. (5/5)
The watch is beautifully designed,
"The watch is beautifully designed, but has some drawbacks. 1) No sweep-second hand - the seconds hand on the main dial works only with the chronograph function. 2) The chronograph is very basic - no split-time functions, only start, stop, and reset. 3) No date window. 4) The left subdial counts stopwatch minutes and the right subdial is a 24-hour clock (6pm on the main dial is "18" on the right subdial). 5) No half-links or microadjustments on the bracelet. . . I'm an in-between size, so removing two links makes it rattle loosely and removing three links makes it dig into my wrist. 6) The toolless link removal is a nice feature. 7) Packaging for shipment left something to be desired - it was almost torn open completely, with only a small piece of tape holding the box shut. I'm guessing the name "Timex" on the shipping label may have tempted someone to try to steal it?"
— Michael B. (5/5)
This watch looks so nice
"This watch looks so nice on my wrist. And should cost a lot more. It’s a classic"
— David S. (5/5)
It looks great and is
"It looks great and is very comfortable with the leather strap. The ice blue does look a little silver at times because it is such a pale blue. Perfect size case"
— zac m. (5/5)
Gorgeous watch. I bought it
"Gorgeous watch. I bought it for my friend for his wedding, and it looks great. I also got him a black leather rally strap and it really pairs perfectly."
— David C. (5/5)
Q&A
Hi…can one order a black leather, rubber or resin strap/bracelet as an extra with this watch? If so how much extra is the strap/bracelet?
Hello Rob! Thank you for your question about the Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm Fabric Strap Watch. Additional straps are not bundled with the watch, but you can purchase compatible replacement straps separately. We invite you to explore our available options here: https://timex.com/collections/watch-replacement-straps . Pricing varies depending on the material and style selected, and you’ll see the cost listed directly on each product page.
Can one order the Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm Fabric Strap Watch with a rubber or resin strap?
Hi Rob! All our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we do not offer customization, such as changing the band strap. However, you can purchase a separate replacement strap with the correct lug width if you’d prefer a different one.
Is the bezel aluminum or ceramic?
Hello Edward! Thanks so much for reaching out with your question about the Waterbury Heritage Chronograph. The bezel on this model is made of stainless steel, not aluminum or ceramic. This material is chosen for its durability and classic appearance. It’s designed to hold up well for everyday use while maintaining a timeless look.
Nice watch. Can you tell me, does it have an audible sound as seconds tick by?
Hi Jeff! Happy to clarify. The Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm Fabric Strap Watch does produce a faint ticking sound, as it uses a quartz movement. It’s typically subtle and only noticeable when the watch is held close to the ear, but yes — there is an audible tick as the seconds advance.
Does this watch have a dedicated seconds hand or is the seconds hand on the dial for the chronograph functionality?
Hello Kevin, thank you for your question! The Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm has a dedicated running seconds hand on the main dial. The chronograph seconds hand is separate and only moves when the stopwatch function is activated.
